Blogging Virgin (my first time please be gentle)

So, here I am for the first time putting myself on virtual paper for all the cyber world to see.
My life recently has been anything but normal. I'll need to give a brief recap of the past few years just to catch you up on the drama that is my life.

Three years ago, 8/29/05 my home and everything in it washed away along with almost everyone else who lived in the New Orleans area. 15 feet of water filled my much-loved little home in Arabi, LA. We (my husband, parents and daughter) did not move back to St. Bernard. We took up residence in a small town just outside of Lafayette.

Let's jump about 2 years, so now in the fall of 2007 and I am about 6 months pregnant with our second baby. A time in my life that should have been joyous was ruined by the admission of my husband that he wanted a divorce and later he confessed to having an affair. Obviously at the time I was completely devastated. How would I survive alone with two children? Could I make it alone? There were so many questions and so many fears, the biggest was the uncertainty of the future.
After a year of adjustment, I'm doing very well. Having him out of my life and off of my sofa was the best thing that could have ever happened for me. I realize now that I had not truly been happy while I was with him and now i have the ability to discover what will and believe me I'm actively looking.

I've said this line many times in the past few years but here it is again (for you this time) If you had asked me three years ago if I ever imagined I would be divorced, with two children, living in a small country town. I would have told you you'd lost your mind. Not me it would never happen to me. No divorce we're fine, no more kids we're good with 1 and I'm not moving anywhere.

Just proves that there are powers greater out there somewhere and they will do with you as they please, so don't fight them. You may not understand but in time you will get what you deserve. Just pray you have enough karma points that you'll be rewarded and not at the receiving end of the karmic bitch slap.
